About Nancy

Nancy Lopez is a California-licensed LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. With three years of clinical experience, she supports clients working on self-esteem, motivation, and coping skills while addressing mood-related concerns.

Background and approach

She aims to create an open environment where clients can name difficult thoughts and emotions and begin building practical strategies for change. Her approach draws on evidence-informed techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help clients clarify goals and practice new ways of thinking and behaving.

Nancy also brings attention to issues such as body image, caregiver stress, communication challenges, immigration-related concerns, and end-of-life matters. She offers services in both English and Spanish and practices across California as a licensed LCSW.

Applying evidence-informed approaches in online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and problems with mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing focuses on enhancing a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment to steps that align with personal values; it can be useful for increasing readiness for change and addressing issues like low motivation.

Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits the client’s goals, preferences, and life context, and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from a licensed professional across California while accommodating work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and allowing therapeutic work to continue from a convenient location.
